Diana vs Ekko

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Diana is a medium early agency AP diver who wants to pressure Ekko to deny his scaling and force short trades on her terms.
Use your medium lane pressure to keep Ekko from freely farming and setting up his W stun or R safety windows.

Trading pattern

Use Q to mark Ekko and immediately E to reset cooldown and maximize burst damage while your shield from W absorbs return damage.
Respect Ekko's Ekko W setup delay; punish if he misses it by all-inning before he can stun.
Avoid trading if you miss Q or your E reset is unavailable, as Ekko's mobility and stun threat can punish you hard.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Ekko's Ekko W is fully activated, as the stun can turn trades against you.
Avoid extended trades if your E is on cooldown, as you lose your main mobility and burst reset.
Ekko's Ekko R allows him to heal and reset fights; be ready to disengage or re-engage accordingly.

Early game

Exploit Ekko's low early agency by punishing his missed Ekko Q or poor Ekko W setups with your Q+E+W burst combo.
Avoid committing if your E is on cooldown, as you lose pressure and risk Ekko punishing you.
Secure level 3 quickly to unlock your full burst trade pattern and shield for trades.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Level 3 for your full Q-W-E burst with shield, and level 6 for R all-in threat.
Respect Ekko's level 3 spike with Q-W-E trade pattern and his level 6 Ekko R safety and burst reset.
Your first completed AP item significantly boosts your kill pressure; look to leverage it for all-ins.

Win conditions

Win by landing your Q+E+W combo with Electrocute up to burst Ekko before he can react.
Deny Ekko's scaling by punishing missed Ekko Q and Ekko W setups early.
Use your level 6 R to force all-ins or teamfights where your hard CC and burst can secure kills.
